Tomorrowland (2015)

Tomorrowland Synopsis

From Disney comes two-time Oscar® winner Brad Bird’s riveting, mystery adventure Tomorrowland, starring Academy Award® winner George Clooney. Bound by a shared destiny, former boy-genius Frank (Clooney), jaded by disillusionment, and Casey (Britt Robertson), a bright, optimistic teen bursting with scientific curiosity, embark on a danger-filled mission to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space known only as “Tomorrowland.” What they must do there changes the world—and them—forever.

Featuring a screenplay by Lost writer and co-creator Damon Lindelof and Brad Bird, from a story by Lindelof & Bird & Jeff Jensen, Tomorrowland promises to take audiences on a thrill ride of nonstop adventures through new dimensions that have only been dreamed of.

While Tomorrowland took the number one spot in its debut, it did so in an anemic Memorial Day weekend. After seeing its momentum fizzle quickly, analysts predict the film could end up putting a $140 million hole in Disney’s pocket.

Want a sneak peek atAnt-Man before it hits theaters? Of course you do. Want to go to Disneyland? Of course you do. Disneyland will providing a sneak preview for the newest Marvel Cinematic Universe film later this month, and the location could not be more perfect.

It seems that an intended key piece of exposition from Tomorrowland in an animated sequence from Pixar was actually cut from the film. Now, that scene jumps from the cutting room floor to see the light of day online. Check it out in all its humanitarian glory!

Brad Bird’s Tomorrowland is a rather complex bit of blockbuster entertainment, taking audiences on a trip that is have road movie, half big science fiction adventure. You’d think that the film’s creation would come out of a multiple big ideas on behalf of its filmmakers coming together, but the truth of the matter is that there really were two crucial elements served as inspiration

Collecting both my own observations, as well as fantastic details revealed to me in one-on-one interviews I did with both Bird and Lindlof, below you’ll find a list of five Easter Eggs to be on to be on the look-out for in Tomorrowland.

Never in a million years have the words, "Stanley Kubrick Is In A Disney Film," ever crossed our minds. Yet Brad Bird couldn't help but temporarily write the brooding genius into a Tomorrowland cameo that was eventually deleted.

During a time when movie studios frequently hope ticket buyers turn their brains off to enjoy superficial thrills, Tomorrowland soars by engaging our imaginations, our spirits and our souls. It’s a rich and rewarding movie-going experience, and one I can’t wait to embark on again, soon.

Actress Judy Greer has a role in Tomorrowland… but if you blink you’ll miss her. In the movie, she plays the mother of Britt Robertson’s character, Casey Newton, but only briefly appears on screen in a home movie that’s played early in the film.

While Tomorrowland explores scientific curiosity along with that Walt Disney-inspired imagination, some thrilling surprises are surely in store, and now knowing that Samuel L. Jackson was almost in an awesome post-credits scene, Tomorrowland sounds even more enticing.

It was already apparent that the upcoming Disney family-friendly fantasy epic, Tomorrowland was looking to captivate audiences with a broad, inventive, imaginative realm full of optimistic possibilities. However the release of a brand new trailer aimed at the Japanese moviegoing market spills the beans on numerous plot points, including, most importantly regarding WHO created the film’s sublime inter-dimensional metropolis.

Because we don’t really know where Tomorrowland might head, I wanted to know what Britt Robertson’s future in the movie might be. Tomorrowland is based on an original concept that may or may not spawn sequels. I decided to ask Robertson if they could tell more stories in this particular universe, if the movie sets the stage for additional adventures.

The ambitious live-action Disney dimension-dividing drama stars Britt Robertson as a young girl who is clearly hearing the call of other-worldly adventure, but seemingly headed down a bad path, until an eccentric inventor played by George Clooney introduces a mysterious pin into her life.

While we’ve only glimpsed the futuristic Emerald City in the brief Tomorrowland footage released thus far, a new interactive website has launched taking us further into this new cinematic space. If The Incredibles director Brad Bird and LOST’s Damon Lindelof weren’t enough to pique your interest in this film, check out these gorgeous new images.

Hulu took that data and divided it up by category. When they applied their totals to the top five movie trailers, as selected by audience members, they went in this order. Do you agree? Did you like one more than another? Weigh in with your comments below!

Tomorrowland is considered to be one of the most anticipated films coming out in 2015 - what with being the latest movie from director Brad Bird and starring the likes of George Clooney and Hugh Laurie - but the film isn't actually going to be going worldwide with that title.

In the run up to the beginning of production on Star Wars: Episode VII, there were a lot of names thrown about for the prime spot in the director's chair. Among the shortlist of favorites, though, was frequent Pixar collaborator and uber geek at heart Brad Bird, but alas that was not to be.

The first images for Tomorrowland have been released and there is plenty to be excited about as it suggests that the epic tale will be visually alluring and ambitious. George Clooney, Britt Robertson and Hugh Laurie will star in Brad Bird’s mysterious sci-fi adventure...

So, what do we know about Tomorrowland? It stars George Clooney as a brilliant inventor who gets caught up in a sci-fi adventure with a wunderkind kid and, from what we’ve heard, a child robot named Athena.

Rumors of a Disneyland remodel and more specifically, alterations to Tomorrowland to coincide with Star Wars: Episode VII have been swirling for months, but without anything more than vague hints from the decision makers at Disney, it’s been tough to separate the baseless speculation from the real possibilities.

Based on a script by Damon Lindelof, who was reportedly inspired to write the script by a mysterious box found on the Walt Disney Studios lot, the story tells the tale of a excitement-filled young inventor (Robertson) and a jaded "former boy-genius" who team up on a mission "to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space that exists in their collective memory as Tomorrowland."

They’re not exactly Steven Spielberg and John Williams, but composer Michael Giacchino has a deep and lasting professional relationship with Brad Bird, so it’s very little surprise that he’ll be doing the music for the director’s next feature, Tomorrowland.

It’s worth noting he had to sign a non-disclosure agreement where he swore not to talk about Tomorrowland or anything about the plot, characters, or the screenplay. However, Inman is pretty sure he isn’t breaking any rules because their conversation had nearly nothing to do with the film itself. As he said, “I read the NDA like ten times and I’m 92.4% sure I’m in the clear here.”

Bound by a shared destiny, a bright, optimistic teen bursting with scientific curiosity and a former boy-genius inventor jaded by disillusionment embark on a danger-filled mission to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space that exists in their collective memory as ‘Tomorrowland.'

Tomorrowland co-writer Damon Lindelof and director Brad Bird took the stage at D23 in Anaheim over the weekend to shed some light on the mysterious sci-fi movie - though really all their presentation really did was roll out more clues without solutions. We’ll get into those in a minute, but first, Tomorrowland fans might want to download this app from Games.Disney.com for the iPhone...

Walt Disney Studios has many exciting and anticipated titles in the pipeline for us, and have promised that we will be getting an exclusive sneak peek at Saving Mr. Banks, Thor: The Dark World, Muppets Most Wanted, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Maleficent and Tomorrowland.

Scripted by Damon Lindelof, the film doesn't have a full plot synopsis available just yet, but through casting reports we've picked up bits and pieces and know that the movie involves a rebellious young woman named Casey Newton (Britt Robertson) who approaches an inventor (Clooney) to help her on a special quest.

How invested are you ready to get in Brad Bird's Tomorrowland? The super-secretive project from the director of The Incredibles and Mission: Impossible-- Ghost Protocol is still doing its best to keep its details under wraps, but if you want to learn more about it-- and its connections to the Disneyland attraction of the same name-- the Internet has given you a way to do it. But be warned: you're gonna have to work for it

Robertson beat out the Disney Channel friendly actress Naomi Scott for the role of Casey Newton (assuming that’s still her name), and the press release even give a very brief plot description that rewords the slight plotline we were already familiar with.

Bird, helmer of The Incredibles and Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol -- is auditioning Britt Robertson and Naomi Scott for the movie. According to the trade, the actresses will undergo “a full hair and make-up test” in Vancouver, where the movie plans to shoot. The part they they are competing for? Casey Newton, a rebellious teenage girl who comes to Clooney’s character – an inventor – when she needs his help to complete a quest.

First let's start over at Marvel Studios, which is just coming off the ridiculous success of Shane Black's Iron Man 3 last month. The company has actually made a habit of owning the first week in May, releasing Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor, The Avengers and Iron Man 3 on that weekend, and it appears that they will continue that habit for years to come.

He seems to be much more interested in going back to an era in America when people were optimistic and looked forward to the amazing things the future could hold - instead of where we are now, holding the future in our hands and being mad when the WiFi signal is weak.

Raffey Cassidy, probably best known as young Kristen Stewart in Snow White And The Huntsman or young Eva Green in Dark Shadows, will play a young female robot who a) is an expert fighter and b) is buddies with George Clooney’s bitter inventor.

As someone at least tangentially associated with the world of J.J. Abrams, having directed Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol with Abrams on board as a producer, Brad Bird is a guy who knows how to keep things a secret. And it's been fascinating and more than a little cool to watch that secrecy stay intact as Bird preps his next directorial effort Tomorrrowland, which he's writing with fellow Abrams collaborator Damon Lindelof (y'know, the guy who made Lost)

After becoming famous for becoming the grouchy and morally complex Dr. House on Fox's House, Hugh Laurie has shed what used to be a career in comedy, and now seems poised to take on his biggest bad guy role yet. He's in talks to join Tomorrowland, the Brad Bird-directed Disney project that already has George Clooney on board in the lead role

Brad Bird's Tomorrowland is the big new mystery on the block in Hollywood. Originally titled 1952, the project is a collaboration between the Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol director and Damon Lindelof, but all details about the plot have been kept under wraps.

Here’s what we do know for sure: Bird is directing the movie from a screenplay by Damon Lindelof (from a concept cooked up by Lindelof and Jeff Jensen), and the tone of the project has been compared to Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind. George Clooney has confirmed his participation in the film, though beyond that, it’s anyone’s guess.
